I did not know Brennan but felt compelled to write a reflection for although we had never met, we were connected as members of fallen officers families.
By chance, I posted a reflection on ODMP for his father today and after posting it, I saw from recent reflections that his son Brennan had died and was now with his father. Michelle and Conner, I pray for your solace and you both are in my heart's embrace during this most difficult time.

Michelle,

Michelle, I too have been both a widow and a mom who lost a cherished son. Although my grief as a widow was significant, I feel there is no greater sorrow than losing a child. It has just seemed so unfair at times. My heart aches for you. If you ever want to contact me, my e mail is phyllisloya@yahoo.com

Michelle...I just wanted to say I'm thinkng of you and Conner. You truly are an inspiration and I wish this pain and sadness could be taken away from you. I'm in tears alot trying to figure out how you move on from this and try to understand but there is no understanding.

To the Bennett Family,
My heartfelt condolences in your loss of Brennan. Although I did not know Brennan, I feel a tie as my grandson Christian Miller was one of Connor's baseball teammates. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brennan was really an amazing guy with a great attitude and an up beat personality. I will miss him making everyone laugh in class or anywhere to be honest. I really wish he knew how many people he touched and maybe, just maybe, he would have stayed longer...everyone who knew him or who is his family will be kept in me and my family's prayers..love you Brennan <3>

Michelle: I'm sure you don't remember me, but my son Zachary and I took an outdoor parenting class with you and Brennan when they were toddlers. My heart just breaks for you... you and your family are in my prayers. If can do anything -- I know you won't ask, but let me or Leila Gagnon know. She and I are good friends.

Michelle, there are no words that I can say as one mother to another that could possible take your pain away. Please know that you have been in my thoughts, my prayers, and my heart since I heard and you will stay there always.

My prayer is that Brennan found the peace he was seeking. That he and his dad are together again. I know they will be watching over his mom and brother as they look for peace in their own lives. I am so saddened by this sudden loss. I feel like a piece of me is missing. Please Lord, listen to our hearts. Love you and miss you, RIP Brennan - gone but not forgotten.

Remembering happy times with Brennan... When he was about seven I came to visit. It was a warm day so of course we had to go swimming. We took turns making up crazy jumps, trying to out do each other. It must have been the beginning of his "dare devilness". Nine years later he wanted to jump over me on his bike! (I was not brave enough for that.)

I loved Brennan's sense of humor. (Just like Michelle's). On one of my recent visits he, Connor and I sat on the couch laughing at Beavis and Butthead. For the rest of the day we could not stop doing their stupid laugh.

Brennan and my son, Jack, were close friends in kindergarten, first, and second grade at Lakeview Elementary. I'm sure if we hadn't moved to Murrieta, they would have remained great friends always. They were both so smart and always competing to outdo each other in the classroom. This picture was from Brennan's birthday party -- 7th maybe? -- and it's still in Jack's room in the frame he decorated at the party. Love you always, Michelle and Connor, and we'll always miss Brennan. Love, Kristi, Todd, Clayton, and Jack Lytle

I LOVED this kid! I remember Michelle bringing Brennan to the old Traffic station to see Terry. He was probably about 3. He'd have a plastic baseball bat or golf club with him. He told me all about his favorite baseball player (Trevor Hoffman)and schooled me in both sports! He had my heart and he was the light in Terry's eye too. Later, I watched him grow and know how much he missed his Dad but he was such a sweet kid to me. The last time I saw him a couple months ago he told me how he'd understood the Washington DC Police Memorial much more this time and he gave me a big hug. I treasure that hug. I hope that he has what he needs now and that he's at peace with Terry.

Michelle, Connor...I hope you know how much you and your family are loved by everyone who has ever met you and we're here for you...always.

Linda and I are so sorry to hear of Brennan's death. I remember working with his Dad and listening to Terry brag about his sons, Brennan and Connor. Terry was very proud of all of his Family. He also shared how much he loved his wife Michelle. We are praying for Michelle and Connor and the rest of you family! Rest in peace my young friend!

I am so very sorry for your loss of this most wonderful young man, My name is Darien Gasner I was a manager at Lakeside Pony I remember at tryouts I spoke to a lot of kids that day, and I can yell you that your son Brennan was one kid that stood out to me as a wonderful talent and an incredible young man, he was so polite and answered my questions about himself and where he played ball, he was just one of the nicest kids i had ever not met before. On draft night I made the bad mistake of talking to the other coaches about how much I loved this kid Brennan Bennett and how much I wanted him to be on my team, he was going to be my 3rd kid that I drafted that night Long story short he was picked 2 picks before my selection I yelled out very loud SH*T ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT'S MY GUY of coarse the room busted out in laughter. What an amazing effect that kid had on me, My heart breaks for BB and his family. You did an amazing job with him knowing someone for 15 mins should not have that kind of effect but he did on me. All the best to you Darien Gasner
